Simple Food: Bacon and Honey Cream Cheese Puffs

Bacon and Honey Cream Cheese Puffs

Bacon, Honey and cheese were made for each other so why not wrap them up in puff pastry parcels.

These bite sized (OK 2 bites) parcels will taste as good as they look on your party table.

I've cheated a bit and used ready made puff pastry, the reason for that is simply because it tastes just as good as when I make it from scratch so why not.

For 6 pastries you will need;

350 Gm - Puff Pastry

5 – Rashers of Bacon (chopped)

6 teaspoons - Honey

100 Gm - Cream or Soft Cheese

1 - Egg (beaten)

1 teaspoon - English Mustard

Dry fry the chopped bacon in a frying pan for about 5 minutes on a high heat, then set aside.

Roll out the puff pastry to about 2 – 3 mm thick, and then cut out 6 circles about 10 -12 cm across.

Smear the middle with a little mustard.

Put a small pile of the chopped bacon on top.

Place a teaspoon full of honey onto the bacon.

Put about a teaspoon full of cream cheese on top of the honey.

Then close up the parcel sealing the edge with beaten egg, use something like a fork handle to crimp it and make some shallow cut along the top and glaze with the beaten egg.
